This is the cronicle of the adventures on the yacht Maiken. I hope you all have a good time reading it, and maybe it will bring some new thoughts into your head.

All the blues are so blue, bluer than any blue I have ever seen before, bluer than the sky that covers the land, these blues that cover the sea. How my heart wants to sail with you and taste the blue all around me. Can a heart taste? Certainly. It tastes all good things. Can a color have taste? Certainly, but blue tastes different than the red/orange of a sunset on the sea's horizon as it sits atop the blue. The heart tastes all the nuances of color that God/dess gives the world, and the heart swells with gratitude. Thank you for your pictures. You helped my heart to swell with gratitude even "in the bleak midwinter" in Illinois, because you have made me see that even this is part of the great Creation of which we are the stewards..
